every theme park employee's worst nightmare
we are back at Universal Studios Orlando it's been a hot minute
I have eight in about like a month I've just been traveling so much we're gonna have a proper Mardi
Gras food day show you some of the new merchandise show you some different updates now in the little
splash pad area here they have construction walls up here in CityWalk but they have advertisements
first of Mardi Gras over here it says the different event offerings advertisement
for the Cursed Coconut Club talks about some of the special Mardi Gras offerings happening here
at CityWalk so we have a special milkshake at two sums jumbo pretzel at NBC Sports and Voodoo Donuts
as a special donut these are not special for Mardi Gras but these are very good drinks at the great
movie Escape but you don't have to pay to go into the bar the whole bar menu is very good there
gigawatt Globe is pretty solid and the Raptor bite all right before we head into the theme park let's
go into the City walk Universal Studio store it looks like they have a new popcorn bucket free
first refill 29 so you're gonna have little Bob with Tim on his head selfie stick his eyes move
which are kind of creepy little Bob with a little uh phone doing a little selfie this is the view of
just when tour groups come to Orlando just to see if selfie sticks when you hit the little button
it takes a selfie they do have the rolled poster it's 50 off same Squidward saying it's
a it's pretty toasty today it's like 100 degrees okay this new Trio of hat versus Florida the 25
the color choice is not very good um these look like a misprint that looks more like a dinosaur
than the United States but so they have one in white tan and black oh my God this is terrifying
so they put a Death Eaters mask on a huffle puff rope that's creepy I thought it was like a scare
act or something in there for sixty dollars you can get a little crackhead Dobby hiding
his staff the fainting fancies orange and lemon fruit gummies they're gonna be 650 35 this is
really cool it has you know a bunch of different candies that are offered range of sweet to make
you ill then for seventy dollars they have a button-up shirt and again it's kind of all the
different candies that are offered advertisement out here for the players they have a golf cart
every theme park employee's worst nightmare a huge crowd of matching t-shirts the tour
groups are back all right now Mardi Gras goes till April 16th so we still have like a month
ago all right so we're gonna be getting this today it's could be the food and beverage card
for the standard guests you pay 65 but you'll get 75 worth of credit and a lanyard then they
have the annual pass holder exclusive to pay 120 and you get 150 dollars on a gift card and
a lanyard now you still can use these lanyards and gift cards after Mardi Gras you're not just
limited to Mardi Gras but it's only for food you can't use it on merchandise nice we just got in
um they've taken down the complete the overhang and where you check in over here they're redoing
the turn Styles things are gonna pick up when epic Universe happens it's gonna be so crowded
so they're just redoing all this stuff now so they can handle the giant crowds that are coming but
we'll get a new little Turn Style coming soon all right we're heading in the band is out right now
of Orlando Florida to come a player for you at Universal Mardi Gras we're
very excited to be here today my friends we're gonna kick things off with a little
bit of Soulful trombone playing from Corey Paul right over here we hope you all enjoy
foreign
they have coffee creme brulee flavored coffee Queen brulee then there's a cinnamon churro
Carnival let's go find Keith's bottle they've added more bottles over here oh there's so many
bottles now okay where oh where is Keith because you got mine right there but then Keith should
be come on where is he they put bottles on the piano there's bottles everywhere oh where oh
where could Mr Banks be okay I just felt like 10 minutes looking for Keith I don't see Keith what
happened to this photo he emailed it in I guess I'll have to email them to find out what happened
to it interesting I don't think the merchandise is selling too well for uh Mardi Gras I wasn't
personally vibing with the design the only thing I liked is the cursed Coconut Club but I don't
see too many people wearing the shirts and I don't see too many people buying the shirts within the
Caribbean store they have an advertisement up for the new show Poker Face on peacock now Poker Face
is currently one of my favorite shows of the year it's like a easy watch kind of a murder
of the week kind of mystery um it's written and some of the episodes are directed by Ryan
Johnson the guy who did knives out and uh Last Jedi We're not gonna talk about the Last Jedi
but I think he's a very good writer Some of the episodes are a lot better than others but uh the
episodes that are good are like really good so if you have peacock peacock is also free check
out Poker Face uh Alice and I are really enjoying that on peacock I think that's like the best show
they've produced on peacock and just kind of a very solid streaming show everybody here at Cafe
La Bamba the confetti is floating in the water all right the first stop of the day is going to be the
Mexico Booth it's gonna be located right over by the crepe stand we got our first little dish
you also get an annual Passover discount so you get a discount on your gift card then you get a
discount on top of the dish with your annual pass order discount so we got the Baja shrimp ceviche
tostada marinated shrimp with the avocado Crema and a crispy blue corn tortilla chip okay let's
see how it is there's one everywhere all right just finished kind of disappointed blue corn
tortilla was like kind of stale so when you get like a stale tortilla chip right it's like chewy
the shrimp was very good and you get that kind of nice creamness from like that avocado cream
and then kind of like there's kind of like a liminess to it it was a good little tortilla
it'd be like a 7.5 I think because the tortilla was bad it was chewy we'll do a 6.5 last year's
Mardi Gras I had many complaints with how it was kind of run and handled this year they kind of
listened to all the feedback so last year all the stands didn't have names on the boot so
you didn't know where you were going you couldn't tell people where the food was across every single
Booth there's a giant name above it so you know where you're going to eat it um so they have on
the app they have a whole Mardi Gras section you can go to the different country that you want to
eat at and they actually have a spot to hit on the map and I'll show you where the booth is
located the Kid Zone sign has been removed they've added some signage though pardon our dust and then
um where all the different countries are now here's another look at the gift card and little
lanyard that they give you I'm not gonna show you the back but I wish there's a barcode so
they could scan so when you have to pay for each thing you have to remove the card from
the lanyard to have them swipe it and then you put it back in so next year if we get a barcode
that'd be awesome I'm trying to look at like the skyline it looks like every single thing
has been removed except for the Woody Woodpecker coaster back there and there's a little piece of
the 50 playground left all right we're heading into ET got kind of a little update I want to
I want a massive renovation just modernized a little bit work on the animatronics maybe soon
before epic opens we'll get that but let's show you a little update so we finally got new passport
and the first thing one of our assistants and they'll give you your ass
where you give your name I always suggest give the name Stephen the new passport
it looks so good you got a rainbow EP on the back it says trying to phone home now
hopefully this says our name normally the passport's never really worked I
would say one in ten times he actually said your name let's see if this fixed
the problem with these new ones but I'm digging the design that they did
animal actors we're going to Brazil we got the uh picana skewers beef sirloin cap with
chimichurri smoked salt and a powder I think that's like the little uh Brazilian kind of
like cheesy bread it ran out of chimichurri it's kind of sad I love a good chimichurri
that's good oh my God that's good gosh yeah that's amazing I can't imagine how that would
taste with the chimichurri let's try the little um cheesy bread I'm pretty soft I'll be honestly
presentation I thought it was not gonna be good when you get the fat on it right just melts in
your mouth it is so good tender and juicy I love that salt that's on there this is a 10 out of 10
dish it's a must I'm excited to come back and get it with the chimichurrier look at that shot
well that's an experience still redoing I believe the concrete in front of uh The Simpsons
attraction this whole area by Men In Black in the bathrooms is all blocked off I'm guessing
they're redoing the concrete also Universal is just in this weird like transitional stage where
it's like there's kind of like renovating and getting everything nice and neat for 2025. so
they have all the concrete mixers and everything over at epics that's why they're kind of like
redoing all this concrete everywhere but the park just kind of feels like Epcot right now
because there's semi-construction walls they got a little photo op out right here with the jesters
so they have the German Booth over here they have a bunch of tables set up but the one that we're
going to be going to is the Belgium one they got the waffles I'm excited we got the Brussels free
crispy season fries served with and dalos and japala sauce I'm sorry if I mispronounced that
they brought these french fries back these fries were amazing last time I had it let's go with the
pink sauce first now let's go with the yellow one the yellow one is very seafoody it's not like Old
Bay but it's kind of got that like that kind of seafoody crab Vibe and then the pink one is kind
of like thousand island dressing you get a good amount of fries sauces are great fries are nice
and crispy perfectly salted these are a 10 out of 10. it's a must see what we're dealing with
uh this waffle I love me a good waffle so we got the liege waffle berries and cream Pearl the sugar
waffle topped with strawberries whipped cream and strawberries and cream crumbs now the great
thing about these waffles they have like giant sugar crystals inside the waffle that's the show
we're talking about whipped cream the jelly the waffle finish the strawberry waffle it's almost
like a strawberry shortcake but kind of like an artificial very sweet Strawberry Shortcake I think
I'm gonna do like 8.5 but the fries the fries are a 10 out of 10. I'm gonna go try the other waffle
now so now it's gonna be time for the liege waffle s'more pearled sugar chocolate chip waffle topped
with marshmallow cream chocolate sauce with graham cracker crumbs all right waffle time I
love a good chocolate chip waffle all right finish the s'mores waffle it got better when you kind of
mixed in the marshmallow in there they don't taste similar the waffle is there and you're
getting the sugar from the waffle and the kind of crispiness and crunchiness but it's all about the
toppings the toppings are what really shines Belgium great little booth if you're here at
Mardi Gras just stop by Belgium okay Fear Factor sage still nothing is happening and now I'm kind
of behind and on the hhn stuff there's so many speculations and rumors I didn't realize there's
gonna be this Floodgate for information that was going to be leaked so I was like oh I got time
I'm going to talk about this stuff throughout the year but it's like oh oh oh this just gotta
I'm gonna talk more about the hhn houses for the trans World video coming out probably next week
and then probably in the coming months I'll talk a little more about like the houses that
are coming and kind of help you narrow down the speculation map yeah I was surprised that rumor
mill is starting so early but the hhi content is coming don't worry but you guys told me to
go get Hogwarts Legacy I got the game I'm about like uh 45 hours into it it's amazing if you're
a fan of Harry Potter it's like you have to live out every single moment throughout
Hogwarts because it's based in the 1800s so it's not Harry Potter time but it's like right before
so you get to like walk all the classrooms and I think the game is wonderful I'm at like a nine
out of 10 right now on Hogwarts Legacy but uh let me know down the console what do you think
about how it works Legacy if you played it it's like during the night time this will light up the
wiring just kind of looks like a nose ring it's a pretty slow day today escape from Green grabs 25
minute Fast and Furious 15 minutes race through New York with Jimmy Fallon 10 minutes The Mummy
